Food

Please note – gala dinner tickets are now sold out.

Please be advised there are limited places to eat in Oban. Those who missed out on a dinner ticket can find food at the local Four Square, the Kai Kart, and Church Hill Restaurant (for which bookings are recommended).

Field Trip – Exploring Paterson Inlet

Please note – the field trip has now sold out.

The field trip will travel from Oban’s main wharf by boat to visit to Millers Beach where we will explore the Norwegian Ross Sea whalers winter base used for repairing vessels. We will continue on to Ulva Island, one of New Zealand’s earliest reserves where we will hear stories of early European settlers, conservation history, and enjoy the results of modern conservation efforts. Other significant landmarks and sites will be pointed out from the vessel during the travel. We will be joined by local tangata whenua who will share their perspectives and traditional stories about the area, and along the way we will hear about the beginning and end of timber milling on the island and other historical anecdotes.

Note: This trip involves boat travel but is predominantly on the enclosed waters of Paterson Inlet, and doesn’t include open sea.

  • Mini bus tour of Oban and surrounding bays – https://www.stewartislandexperience.co.nz/things-to-do/village-bays-tours/

And some free activities – short walks:

  • https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/southland/places/stewart-island-rakiura/oban-area/things-to-do/oban-day-walks/

There are also other websites that contain information about activities on Stewart Island.

Additionally, people who don’t come on the field trip can still come to the new museum on Friday afternoon to hear Jo Massey speak about the collections (including Lockerbie collection, museum redevelopment project, and wider museum projects in Southland). This is a special conference attendee event where the Lockerbie collection is on a special display.

Student Volunteers Needed

This year the NZAA require 8 student volunteers to support the conference on Thursday and Saturday (4 on each day). Specifically, there are limited catering staff on Rakiura/Stewart Island, so volunteers would ensure the conference area is kept clean and presentable, that dishes are done, and similar tasks that the catering company cannot provide. NZAA are offering a free gala conference dinner ticket (to the value of $60) for those students. Please contact Conference Coordinator Danielle Trilford at Danielle.t@cfgheritage.com if interested.

Māori archaeology hui NZAA, 2019

Tue 27th Aug 3pm to Wed 28th Aug 3pm

Tēnā ra koutou e ngā kaihura Māori, koutou e tiaki ana i ō tātou wāhi tupuna. Piki mai, kake mai ki runga i te kaupapa o te mahi huakanga nei.

Following last year’s useful Auckland hui of Indigenous delegates before the combined NZ & Australian Archaeological Assoc.’s conference, a similar hui for kaitiaki Māori interested and involved in archaeology will be held before this year’s NZAA conference on Rakiura (Stewart Is.). This is an opportunity for discussions about the work of the newly convened Māori Advisory Committee for NZAA, for sharing ideas of Māori participation and priorities in archaeology, and for whanaungatanga towards a stronger network of Māori interested and involved in archaeology. It will also allow for kōrero about iwi archaeological issues at the southern end of the country in particular.

The hui is convened by the NZAA Māori Advisory Group and hosted by Awarua Rūnanga. Arriving on the afternoon of Tuesday 27 August, overnight on the marae, the hui will finish on the Wednesday afternoon with plenty of time for those crossing to the conference on Rakiura to catch the 4:30 ferry or for others to return home.
Bring your gear for a normal marae stay and koha for kai.
Register for the hui by email to Gerard O’Regan: gerardoregan.nz@gmail.com
